A quick rain shower delayed the start of racing today at Oakland Valley Speedway, but soon after it stopped, John Diotte and crew got the track run in and in great shape for the evenings events. Thanks to all who came out and raced with us. The features started out with the Heavys class, and it was an impressive run by Ryan Edwards pulling away from always fast Bill Wood. Ryan was hooked up to the track! Bill Wood took second with Corey Wood third. Next on the track was the Lights class. A great race between Dominic Roselli and Roger Belanger battling for the lead, and out of nowhere comes a very fast Alex Arndt passing both Roger and Dominic and picking up the win. Great job by Alex. Roger held off Dominic for second. Dominic was third. Junior Sportsman Champ 1 was next, and Robert the Rocket Mattera took the win, with Jake Mason taking second and Devin Greer third. Junior Champ was next and it was Samantha Mattera taking the win over Anthony Wood and Patrick Kelly. Glen Varner was our Senior Champ driver.

Senior Stock came out on the track next with a good field of seven drivers. Bill Wood took the win again this week, but not without a challenge from Scott Thomas, before Scott had a little contact with the turn 2 wall to slow him down. Kevin Morgan took second, and Scott held on for third. Junior Stock was next, and it was Sean Glennon returning to Oakland Valley Speedway to pick up the win over a fast Garret Delaney, who raced with us for the first time this year. Patrick Dempsey took third place. In Junior 2, Anthony Roselli was fast all night, and took the win in an impressive run, for his second win this year. Great job Anthony!! Tyler Belanger came home second and Damon Paul third. Junior Sportsman Champ 2 was next and it was Anthony Wood taking the lead a few laps in and picking up the win over Jessica Mattera and Samantha Mattera. In Junior Slingshot, Edrin Paulison picked up her fourth win of the season, with Matt DeRitter taking second. Tyler Peet was third. In Senior Slingshot, Fast Phill Collins took the win, his eleventh this year, over Tyler Johnston and Randy Johnston.

We will be back in action next week racing all of our regular points classes, and only three races left in our season!
